6. Flip the clamp levers forward. This aLlows the two
sprocket units to move freely right and left. so you can
align them with the holes in the paper.
-7. Pick up the top sheet, and feed it between the paper chute
and platen cover plate.
8. Push the paper down and forward, so it wraps around
the platen.
9. Return the paper separator to its original flat position.
10. Pull the paper up, past the sprocket units.
11. When holes fit snugly over the nubby teeth in both
sprockets, close the tractor covers and snap the clamp
levers back into their locked position (Figure 2-8).
12. With the platen knob, roll the paper up or down until
the correct “start-print” position is reached. You do this
by lining up the horizontal perforation (where you tear
apart individual sheets) with the top of the ribbon guide.
13. Now you’re ready to roll! Replace the printer cover and
turn the power switch on. Rapid printing!
